What are the Causes and Symptoms of Menopause?

Menopause occurs twelve months after a woman’s last menstrual period and marks the end of her menstrual cycles. This usually happens in her 40s or 50s. While menopause ends fertility, it is often accompanied by a number of symptoms as a result of low estrogen, such as:

Hot Flashes or night sweats

Stress incontinence due to atrophy of the muscles of the pelvic floor

Low or no desire for sex

Skin Changes and weight gain

Brain dysfunction presenting as

Poor Memory

Irritability

Brain Fog

Depression

There is also Low Progesterone, which presents as poor sleep. This can occur as early as eight years before perimenopause. Progesterone is one of the hormones that help relax the brain. It is also critical that Progesterone should be in balance with estrogen. Imbalances between estrogen and progesterone can raise the risk of breast or endometrial cancer.

Perimenopause is a period of time about two years before menopause. Here, estrogen is relatively normal or low, but Progesterone is low. With this state, the menstrual periods are erratic in terms of frequency and amount of bleeding. There can also be some brain dysfunction.

Estrogen Dominance is when estrogen and progesterone are no longer in balance, and there is much higher level of estrogen. This can lead to symptoms, and in some women, who are so inclined genetically, can increase the risk of breast or endometrial cancer. There are two sources of estrogen and progesterone commercially. For many years, the source has been the urine of pregnant. As such, most birth control pills and medicines prescribed by a gynecologist at menopause come from that source and they are referred to as synthetic. Functionally, horse urine hormones will do the job they are prescribed for. However, because their structure is more complex than the estrogens and progesterone humans make, if taken for a longtime, they increase the risk of breast or colon cancer.

On the other hand, more recently, it is possible to extract estrogen and progesterone from plants, such as soy and yams. This kind is identical in structure to that of humans so they are called “natural or Bioidentical hormones. These come from compound pharmacies.
